Teacher:
Suppose you get out of your house on an early sunny April day and see…
What is it? It is a yellow dandelion. It looks at you from the ground and
says “Protect me, please”. A great number of people all over the world
are taking part in the policy of controlling the atmosphere, the water, the climatic changes, because of man’s interference in nature. These problems are the subject of our lesson today. Your home task was to find information and to do reports about the protection of nature.

Student: We`ve read many articles about environmental problems, looked through the Internet and found much information on the theme. Some of us have done reports. We`ll listen them and discuss environmental problems at our lesson.
Teacher: So, the theme of our lesson is “Environmental problems”. Let`s start!

II.Основная часть.
Работа в группах Let’s discuss the problems
1 группа - The Pollution and the ozone layer destruction could lead our planet to a global catastrophy. About 5 billion tons of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere every year. Every year our industry throws
out into atmosphere about 50000 tones of dust other harmful substances.
2 группа - Radiation has become one of the main problems. Many people died from radiation in Chernobyl. It was a great tragedy. People build nuclear stations and carry out nuclear tests. As a result, radiation represents one of the main problems nowadays. But some countries such as Schwitzerland and Austria stopped building nuclear power stations.
3 группа - Water Pollution. It is not a secret that the largest rivers of our region are polluted very much. Often, companies don’t know what to do with waste materials of industry, so they pour them into water. They pollute the water we drink, and the land we live in. But some countries build plants with a closed – loop recycling system. They don’t have any waste water because every time it is reused. It is the way to solve this problem.
Every year the World Ocean gets about 25-30 millions tones of harmful substances. The ways of their getting into the water are different:
23% from different ships
28% from river waters
17% from loading of sea ships
16% from industrial water
10% from acid rains
5% from oil ships accidents
